== When to use solid fuel ==
Actually hard to say and depends much on the map. Generally if a map is rich of coal but poor on oil it is a bad choice to create solid fuel. With 25MJ solid fuel has more then three times the fuel value of coal, but there is only the need of mining drills to get coal while there has to be build [[Pumpjack]]s, [[Oil refinery]]s and [[Chemical plant]]s for creating solid fuel and maybe cracking oil.


== Which recipe to use ==
== History ==
* [[Light Oil]] has actually nearly no use ingame and has the best oil to solid fuel ratio which makes it the best choice.
{{history|0.17.0|
* [[Heavy Oil]] is mainly used for [[Lubricant]] which isn't needed in huge amounts, but cause of the bad oil to solid fuel ratio it shouldn't be used direct to create solid fuel. Cracking it to light oil will loose 25% of heavy oil but will still result in a better oil to solid fuel ratio when creating it out of the cracked light oil.
* Relative value of solid fuel decreased by 4%.}}
 
{{history|0.15.0|
* Fuel type now affects vehicle acceleration and top speed.}}

Solid fuel is a kind of fuel and is processed in a chemical plant. One unit of solid fuel contains 12MJ of energy, three times the energy value of coal.

Besides being useful as fuel in all burner devices, solid fuel is also used to produce rocket fuel, which is a component of rocket parts built in the rocket silo.

Recipes

Solid Fuel can be created from heavy oil, light oil or petroleum gas. Light oil has the best oil to solid fuel ratio (10:1). Cracking heavy oil to light oil first changes the ratio for heavy oil to 13:1 (from 20:1).
